The Origin Of Things is doing its second live recording this season - S02R02.

We did one pretty decent live recording a few weeks back with 5 episodes, all of which are now in your feeds. It's time to get some fresh episodes back up. Chuck has written some stories, and will scramble to do some more by the time the recording is here!

We hope to see you there - it will be super fun, TOOTers!

But wait, what is The Origin of Things?

The Origin of Things (TOOT to friends) is a short-format podcast where your host, Deepak Gopalakrishnan (Chuck to friends) talks about the origin stories of various brands. It's a dramatized 5-7 minute story of how some of today's biggest and most beloved brands came about. The fun though, happens because Chuck reveals the name of the brand only at the end - leaving it to you to try and guess what he's talking about! Explore how, for example, one of India's biggest tragedies is connected to one of its most beloved drinks, or how a murderer was responsible for one of today's most enduring taglines. It's all there in The Origin of Things!

Season 1 (25 episodes long, which you can knock off in a couple of hours) ended last December, and Season 2 has just kicked off with five episodes.

Chuck will do four episodes together in this live - as well as take any questions that fans of the show (yes, apparently we have some!) might have over a nice one-hour session. Join in, it will be fun :)
